"I believe my excellent communication skills are shown in my work daily. This fluctuates between having to communicate clearly and concisely when speaking with participants and communicating using written and verbal communication to regulatory boards and oversight committees. Last year, my writing skills really shined when creating a grant proposal for funding for a new trial. This was my first solo attempt at a grant proposal, and I was so pleased that the proposal was accepted. My director commended me for the awesome job."
